AS the sun set over Perry Barr it was Red Sky at night but it certainly wasn't Skidder's delight as the Brummies lost their unbeaten home record.
If I had a cat I would have kicked it, if I had a girlfriend I'd have been moody with her and if I had a dinner I wouldn't have touched it because last night all I tasted was defeat.
The Brummies didn't just lose to Rye House Rockets they were battered from pillar to finishing post as time and time again the Rockets romped home winning 12 of the 15 races.
Even Jason 'The Lyon King' Lyons was tamed in the face of brilliant riding.
The Aussie speedster even played his tactical ride joker which would have given him double points and he still lost.
Only Ulrich Ostergaard won any races and the daring Dane's two wins still was not enough as the Premier League favourites bamboozled the Brummies.
Brent 'the Afterburner' Werner did not have the luck of the track and looked as if he had replaced methanol with Iron Bru in his tank as he failed to make an impression on the Rye House boys.
What gave the meeting a bit of edge was the hordes of fans who made the long trip up from Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire to see their boys.
There was a great bit of banter in the shed end of the stadium and there were a few Southern high rollers in the hob nob box adding to the atmosphere as well.
But for the Brummies the honeymoon is over as the hopelessness of the riders quest was shown up again and again.
We have had a great start of the season in the Premier Trophy but last night's first outing in the Premier League it was a different kettle of WD40.
However, it seemed to be one of those nights when everything could go wrong went wrong so it would be unfair to think the Brummies can't bounce back with a bang against the Newport Wasps next week.
On the television in the bar Chelsea were pummelling West Ham into submission and the same inevitability of Rye House's superiority was just like the Blues ominous brilliance.
Poor Aiden Collins had a night to forget as he lost his first bike and then was forced to race on, in his words, 'my crap second bike'.
The young fella would have had more chance of winning a race if he had kidnapped Shaun Wright-Phillips, tied elastic around the winger's legs, bent him over, stuck an outboard motor on his shoulders, jumped on his back, tickled his ribs and dangled an England cap in front of Chelsea speedster.
He didn't do that though, more is the pity, but just like the sun setting over Perry Barr the Brummies will be back and can make everything right next Wednesday.

Thanks for writing about this. There's a lot of good tech information on the internet. You've got a lot of that info here on your site. I'm impressed - I try to keep a couple blogs reasonably live, but it's a struggle sometimes. You've done a solid job with this one. How do you do it?

Amazing. I love Miley Cyrus and her hot new record album. I would have to say that either Liberty Walk or Forgiveness and Love are most likely my favorite songs. She is developed greatly from her Hannah Montana days!
